Lesley Kiesling LPC-IT , MS Sports Leadership, MA Clinical Mental Health Counseling

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re managing stress, expectations, or big transitions—whether in academics, athletics, or everyday life. I provide a compassionate space for teens and young adults to explore challenges like performance anxiety, burnout, or identity changes. Together, we’ll process both internal and external pressures, build confidence and resilience, and create a more balanced, meaningful life both within and beyond sport. I provide a safe, understanding space to process stress, burnout, identity, and life transitions. As a former student-athlete, I bring unique insight to supporting both athletes and non-athletes in building resilience, confidence, and balance through life’s pressures and changes. I want to build on the characteristics you already have! Life brings many challenges, but therapy can be a safe place to sort through them. I work collaboratively with clients to reduce the impact of anxiety, depression, and stress so they can move forward with confidence. As a former athlete, I also understand the unique pressures and identity challenges that come with performance.
